Simple New Tab URL Chrome Extension Image 1

Description

Very similar to other "New Tab URL" redirect extensions but this one is stripped down to the bare essentials. There are 4 options available:

  • URL you want the new tab URL to be
  • whether you want the URL to be auto-highlighted/selected on new tab page load (or if you want the focus on new tab load to be on your page)
  • whether you wish to enable a light mode theme (it currently defaults to a dark theme)
  • whether chrome should sync this setting

Note: If your new tab url is a local file (i.e. it starts with "file://" rather than "http://") then you will have to enable the "Allow access to file URLs" permission for this extension on the Manage Extensions page.
